Williams said in the summer the surf is small and the waves have been lapping on the beach.

“I was surfing the other day and I looked underneath me the water was real clear and there’s a shark underneath me following me,” Williams said. “I don’t mind sharing the wave with them, but if you fall into one of them they’re going to turn around and bite you.”

He said you never really get used to sharks.

“A lot of times the sharks are attacking schools of baitfish and if you’re in the middle of that, you’re going to get bit,” Williams said. “Sometimes they just get aggressive. You see ‘em and you just better get out of the water when that starts.”
